Didsbury Wins 7-6
In Softball Playdown

Overcoming a two-run deficit with
a 8 run rally inthe ninth, Didsbury
defeated the Calgary Hill Billies 7-6
in the first game of the intermediate
softball playdowns on the town dia-
mond Thursday night last.

At the end of the Ist inning Dids-
lury were one up ona run scored by
oman Holub, the score reading in
tye locals’ favour, 1-0

In the 2nd Calgary came back to
toke the lead at 2-1 on runs by Han-
sen and McDougal. The 8rd was
blank, as both sides were retired bit-
less.

Calgary were again retired in the
4th, while Didsbury secured 2 runs
through Holub and Haldane.

Smart fielding and pitching by
both teams again produced blanks
in the &th and 6th. Brightman
scored for the locals in the 7th to
make it 4-2.

The 8th inning saw a rally by
the Hill Billies, three runs coming
from Kipling, Brabant and Kaye to
give them the lead one ahead of
Didsbury.

The spectators were tense with
excitement in the 9th and last in-
ning as Allan Krebs reached first on
a double by Hank Morasch, who
crossed the plate with the winning
counter on a single by Berscht, to
make it Didsbury’s game by 7-6.

Used and Rebuilt Batteries |Catches Banana Spider

Charlie Geiger caught a live ba-
nana spider ina bunch of bananas
this week and Bill Ranton was dis-
playing the specimen in a glass
sealer Tuesday.

This species of spider makes its
nest amongst banana bunches and
is known to be poisonous owing to
a dove-colored sac or egg which is
attached to its under carriage by a
slight thread The egg on this
specimen would be about the size of
a small thimble. The spider’s eight
legs had about a three inch spread
and its antenna was of a minute size
in comparison. Its undercarriage
is of an orange-red color and ite
upper body of striped mouse and
brown color.

Countries Depends On

Strength Of Their Air Fleets

oo ——-.

The safety of democratic countries,
if not their existence as independent
nations, depends so much on the
relative strength of air fleets that
unusual interest attaches to reliable
aircraft data. The Aircraft Year
Book for
Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce
of America at New York, supplies

* some important evidence,

The Year Book begins with the
statement that the principal powers
of the world are striving for suprem-
acy in the air in preparation for a
War that seems to become more im-
minent with each passing month.
Germany, Italy and Russia are build-
ing up huge air forces which con-
ceivably might force an early deci-
sion in any conflict. War might be
precipitated if other nations remain-
ed unprepared in the air. Britain's
policy, as seen by the Year Book, is

to postpone hostilities until her air.

Knew The Grain Trade

| Supplied Statistics For 50 Years
Probably no name was as well!

trade as that of George J. S. Broom- |
hall, who died in Liverpool, England, |
at the age of 82 years. For fifty
years the late Mr. Broomhall has
been supplying information and stat-
istics on the grain trade until his
hame became a houschold word in
the great wheat exporting and im-
porting countries.
The United Kingdom is the centre’
of the grain trade of the world and
the buying and selling of wheat on
an international scale has been big
business in Britain for generatiqns.
Hence, it was natural that an insti-,
tution for the supplying of accurate
news of what is transpiring in grain
trade circles should find ready favor
in that country. The man was well
equipped for the job, having a prac-
tical knowledge of grain trading in|
one of the largest offices in London,

j ful broker on the Liverpool Corn|

the French plants are not as numer-
ous nor as efficient as the machines
coming off the assembly lines in
neighboring countries. Nor is the
training of war pilots and auxiliary
personnel so extensive. More than
half of the machines in the French
force are not fit for active service

are, of course, only the views of the| the device, the man behind the wheel |

editor of the Year Book.

Italy, on the other hand, has pro-
fitted from her experiences in Ethio-
pia and Spain. Her aviation program
has gained headway, based on labora-
tory investigation at home, practical
research in the field and a policy of
making Italy the equal of any
possible rival.

The book gives little information
about the strength of the German
air fleet, but observes that “Ger-
many’s assertion that the aerial
squadrons of the Reich were capable
of backing up any demands that Ger-
many might make, struck the world
with all the impact of a mailed fist,
a mailed first with wings, wings cap-
able of hurling tons of explosives on
the most distant confines of Euro-
pe@n countries at a speed of not less
than three miles a minute,”

The Russian air force is rated
high. The Year Book states that the
planes produced in Russia last year
showed great improyement over
those previously produced. They
were cleaner in design and perform-
ed better, Production speeded up in
Russia during 1937 and new models

are being turned out at a rapid rate. |

Russian women workers are demon-
strating that they are much better
than men in nearly every branch of
aircraft manufacture. They learn
the trade more quickly, are more
udept with precision work and more
adaptable to the rigorous discpline
and care required in aeroplane con-
struction. Russia is bound to be a
formidable foe in the air,

Japan has resolved to improve her
air fleet regardless of cost, and has
a big program underway. The United
States has led for years in aero-
dynamic research and her civil and
military planes are unexcelled, in the
opinion of the Year Book.

This is the anxious period in air-
ecratt construction. The dictators
may have a temporary advantage to-
day and be tempted to strike. Next
year the democracies and their allies
may have regained a lost superiority.

Copper is the oldest of commercial

It was first found by a half-

off the Greek coast, centuries ago. It
became so cherished as to be called
“Cyprish Metal’ which name it has
kept through the centuries, modern
tongues changing it to “copper.” The
metal is credited with being means of
founding modern civilization with all
its comforts and utilizations. Perhaps
the oldest copper roof in the world
is on Hildesheim Cathedral in Ger-
many, many parts of this roof extant
since 1320, incidentally some 174
years before America was discovered.

Copper has been used for convey-
ing water for centuries. The Copper
and Brass Association has a piece of
copper pipe that carried water to
the ancient Egyptians some 5,500
years ago, and part of this is on ex-
hibition at the Berlin Museum. The
metal is now used in a thousand
efforts, commercial, household and
industry. The United States gov-
ernment has estimated termites do
an annual damage to property of
approximately $50,000,000, and cop-
per has become used against these
tropical insects as protection, cop-
per or copper alloy shields being laid
between foundation walls and the
superimposed woodwork of buildings
affected. Perhaps the greatest ad-
vance to modernization has been the
use accorded copper in electrical and
lighting conveniences,

| character and degree of the influence.
Some specialists insist that the sun
{Spots affect human behavior and

| earthquakes, hurricanes and _ floods,
} but mass madness and wars,
| Sun spots are not dead patches on

the sun, but areas in which colossal
windstorms of a twisting nature

arise to cool off the incredible heat
of the solar sphere. Some of the
| Spots are as broad as the earth, They
|are said to reach their maximum in-
tensity every 11 years, but the
records seem to show some maximum
years only seven years apart and
,others thirteen years apart. The
; Sun spots produce ultra violet rays
| and cause widespread magnetic dis-
|turbances over the surface of the
;earth. Europe and North America
| were greatly disturbed in this way
| two months ago,

| The last period of maximum sun
| spots was in 1928, which would seem
to indicate 1938 as the next year of
maximum activity. Most scientists,
however, seem to regard this year as
|the maximum year. Prof. De Lury,
former president of the Royal As-
tronomical Society of Canada, told
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science at Ottawa
jthat “We reached the maximum of
this cycle last July.” He regarded
that omen as being favorable fo:
agricultural and commercial inter-
| ests.

believe about these matters. But on
one hand experts suggest that maxi-
mum sun spots means good crops
and prosperity and on the other
hand other experts say the reverse is
true, Carefully prepared Canadian
data by meteorological authorities
show that the mean temperature of
Calgary during four separate years
of sun spots minimum between 1888
and 1933 was 38.8 degrees Fahrenheit
and that for three separate years of
sun spot maximum it was 38.3 de-

little influence upon temperatures in
that part of Canada. Records for the
45-year period showed that 1893, a
maximum sun spot year, had the
lowest mean temperature on record,
where as in 1928, another maximum
year, had within .4 degrees of the
highest mean temperature.

Foreign authorities nevertheless
say that of the last five maximum
years all but one showed tempera-
tures below the average and of the
previous six minimum years all had
a mean average a little above pur.

Advocate Taking Of Nos» Prints For

Dog nose prints, comparable to

by the Canadian Kennel Club for

identifying registered dogs, in prefer-

Tattooing is of no lasting value in
dog identification, painful
opens the way to abuses, in the club's
view. That is why it decided to take
action against new by
the Dominion dcpartment of agricul-

WORLD HAPPENINGS
BRIEFLY TOLD

Mrs. E. Vermilyea, Campbellford, |
Ont., claims a world record as a!
teacher. She has taught since she
was 16 years old, a total of 66 years.

A 12-foot Indian python reported
missing from a London house and for
which police searched was found;
asleep behind a wardrobe in the!
house all the time. |

One hundred and thirty convicts
from the Kingston penitentiary have,
been distributed among western Can-
ada penitentiaries. The Kingston)
penitentiary was overcrowded. |

Miss Ada Lent of Edmonton, Alta.,
was named president of the British!
Empire Club at the annual meeting
held in International House, New)
York. Miss Jessie Casselman, Van-
couver, was elected secretary. |

Dr. Charles R. Dickson, 79, one of!
the earliest experts of X-ray, who was
blinded by exposure to its ultra violet |
rays and in 1914 founded the Cana-|
dian Institute for the Blind, died re-|
cently in Toronto.

There were 40,800,000 pounds of
creamery butter produced in Canada)

statistics report said. |

Venezucla, member of the League,

Check On Firearms

Registration Of Revolvers And Pistols
Is Made Necessary

Royal Canadian Mounted Police
headquarters issued a statement urg-|
ing the public to co-operate in en-}
forcing the new amendment to the!
criminal code with registration of re-|
volvers and pistols which was passed
at the recent session of parliament.

The amendment requires persons
possessing revolvers or pistols to
register them between March 1 and
July 1, 1939, and periodically, every
five years thereafter. In 1934, when)
registration of weapons was first
made compulsory by parliament, no
provision was made for a periodical
re-registration.

The amendment, the statement
said, will have “the effect of helping
the public to decide whether they
really desire to retain as souvenirs or
for the sake of protection, pistols and
revolvers which may be stolen, and
therefore may be a source of danger
rather than protection. The law com-
pels the registration of all pistols and
revolvers, whether held as souvenirs
or for any other purpose. In Great)
Britain, all dangerous weapons of
this kind must be re-registered every |
three years.”

The firearms registration section
has proven helpful to various police
forces throughout the Dominion in
identifying firearms found at scenes
of crimes or on persons arrested, the
statement said. |

Voluntary Militia
Empire's Second Line Responsible
For Home Defence

In Britain a voluntary militia
chosen from men who, between the
ages of 18 and 21, had served periods

of compulsory citizen service’ in
spheres other than military is
strongly advocated by Sir Edward

Grigg, parliamentarian and writer, in
his book, “Britain Looks At Ger-
many.”

This would be the empire's second

line--responsible for home defence.
Every young man, would perform
citizen services of some kind for

three months but for the majority it
would be physical training and public
works on lines of civilian conserva-
tion corps of the United States.

More Spots On Sun

The sun, says Astronomer I. M.
Levitt, of the Franklin Institute, is
breaking out in a rash again. Levitt
said he counted 200 spots on old sol's’
face and predicted the number for
the year might surpass the number
visible during 1937, when a 67-year)

record was broken.

Queerest Horse Races

Have Been Run Half Yearly In
Italy Since 1721

One of the world’s oldest and;
queerest horse races, the Palio, wasl
Performed in a recent weck in the |
municipal square at Sicnd, Italy. |

Mediaeval pageantry dominated |
the scene as banners and costumes
of 600 years ago were mingled in|
the crowds of townsfolk.

Ten horses were chosen by lot to
run for the honor of 10 of the town's
17 contradas, or wards. The palio, or
prize, is a huge silk banner. |

Rules did not prevent the riders
from beating one another's horses,

The jockeys rode three times
around a brick-paved tilted piazza.
Mattresses padded some of the dan-
gerous corners,

Police waited at the finish line—
to protect the winner from friends!
and rivals alike. So fierce was rivalry

were difficult. Such hysteria has
passed but families still separate on
Palio Day, each member joining the!
contrada where he was born.

The course has been run uninter-
ruptedly twice a year since 1721. It
dates back to the 14th century, how-
ever, and grew out of other games}
traceable to the 13th century.

Anthony Eden Thinks Britain Should,

“It is certainly not true to pretend |

international decency is to endanger
peace,” Anthony Eden, former secre-
tary, said in a speech at Stratford-

* Funeral Causeway

A City Of 20,000 Dead Is Unearthed
From The Dust Of Fifty
Centuries In Egypt

A city of 20,000 dead and a richly
ornamented funeral causeway have
been unearthed from the dust of 50
centuries at Sakkara, Egypt.

The discoverer, Selim Bey Hassan,
said at least 20,000 mummies lie in
the necropolis beneath the causeway
which connected a valley temple
with the funeral chapel of Unas, last
king of the fifth dynasty.

Discovery of the causeway was
termed a find of highest importance
because inscriptions on the walls an-
swered the question if ancient Egyp-
tians cut and dressed granite for
statues and temples.

The causeway is a passage 700
yards long and seven feet wide. The!
side walls, nine feet high, were cov- |
ered with the largest known collec-
tion of old kingdom inscriptions and
scenes,

Scenes depicted included the trans-
port by boat of red granite columns
and capitals from Asswan to the!
pyramid of Unas, wrestling between
Egyptians and Bedouins, and trans-
port by boat of Asiatic prisoners.

The cemetery was cut from solid!
rock and covered several acres, It!
was traversed by long galleries from|
which passages led to funeral cham- |

Study The Planet Venus |

Scientists Scek Information About
This Unknown World
Astronomers of Lowell Observa-

tory at Flagstaff, Ariz., are observing
large white clouds on the planet}
Venus for clues to what is happen-
ing on this unknown world which is)
the earth’s twin in size.

The clouds completely cover Venus.
But they change their shapes and
shadows from hour to hour, driven
by furiously fast winds. With aid of
a new method of analyzing their re-!
flected light, they have become
celestial signals that may reveal the’
mysterious forces beneath them. H

Venus is the next planet inward
At times she comes
within 27,000,000 miles of the earth.
Her diameter is about 7,700 miles.
She has sufficient heat to maintain!
varied forms of life. Although what-
ever happens on her surface is veiled
from telescopes, the clouds hold the
key to much fascinating information.

It is apparent already from studies
of these clouds with the spectroscope |
that a day on Venus is probably more
than two weeks long.

Dr. V. M. Slipher, director of the
observatory, says the quality of light
reflected from Venus’ clouds suggests |
they are made of dust.

None had handles. And if he hunted
in the conventional prehistoric man-

The findings were disclosed by

Trouble With New Vessels |

Six 8,500-ton Japanese cruisers of,
the Mogami type, construction of
which forced a change in the British |
naval program of 1934, have proved.
unseaworthy and are not yet in
active service, the naval expert of
the London Sunday Times says. |
Several new aircraft carriers also
proved unsatisfactory for service, the!
writer said, and the Japanese navy,
has been forced to experiment with
yroscopes which present new and}
complicated difficulties.
“All six of these ships,” he said, |
referring to the Mogami cruisers,
“have failed to join the fleet at the
time originally intended. Some of
them have been delayed in the dock-
yards for more than a year while,
modifications have been carried out.
“These modifications have been
concerned with the stability of the
ships and I understand that the Japa-
nese have been forced to remove one
of the main armament gun turrets to|
give the ships sufficient stability.”

Always Something To Learn

Worth-While Persons Never Satis-
fied With What They Know

S. S. Schnetzler, author and educa-
tor, writing in the Rotarian Maga-
zine, says little homes, little bank
accounts, little educations, are
very well in themselves provided they
don't drug us with a false sense of
having reached the end of the road

j of achievement instead of merely he-

ing at the beginning of it, and pro-
| vided we don't allow those who have
;ceased trying, to rob us of the
| “divine unrest’ of which the poct
| speaks. ... Let us enjoy the things
| which we have, but let us not be con-
|/tent with them. Let us love every
|inch of the tiny mental homes which
{we now inhabit, but, at the same
\time, let us dream of intellectual
| dwelling places bounded only by in-
finity and roofed over by the limitless
;sky. Not contentment but aspiration
is the food of the giants of our com-
ing generations.
